Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the 'minimum contacts' requirement is met to establish specific personal jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Due Process Clause permits a court to exercise personal jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant only if the defendant has “certain minimum contacts with [the forum state] such that the maintenance of the suit does not offend ‘traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.” Int’ Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 316, (1945) (quoting Milliken v. Meyer, 311 U.S. 457 (1940)). The questions presented are: Whether the “minimum contacts” requirement is met to establish specific personal jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant where the non-resident defendant operates an interactive website that is accessible to the forum as well as anywhere else in the planet. Whether the “minimum contacts” requirement is met to establish specific personal jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant where the single sale of the alleged infringing product sold and delivered to the forum was a purchase made by plaintiff's investigator.
